Selection of graphic software for picture display

[Guest Beyond X]

I want to know how to set up my Win2K so that a particular graphic

software is selected to display a picture file (e.g. -.jpg) by clicking

it in Win Explorer. Presently the bulky Photoshop is automatically

selected and loaded after long wait before the picture is shown. If I

can somehow change the setup so that Paint is selected, for instance,

waiting time should be a lot shorter.

The easiest method; While in Explorer, right click on a file of the type in

question, then choose "Open With", "Choose Program", then choose and check

the box for "Always use this program....."

Right cliick on a picture and select "open with", then select the program

you wish to use and check the box that says "always use this program...".
